About Plastic Surgery

I was reading today in Spanish Vogue magazine, that Spain is the number one country in the world where they use most plastic surgery.

As a Spanish I was very surprise.

Let me tell you first that, I don´t have anything against plastic surgery and if someone thing that they need it, I am not going to tell them not to do it or to judge them in any way. I strongly believe everyone is free to do what they think is best for them and no one has the right to tell anyone what they should or shouldn't do.

But me...I don´t think I could ever do it.

First because I will be to scare about it. Ha,ha,ha. I am not good with needles and unnecessary pain.

But secondly and more important, because I am a big believer of enjoying your age and making the most of what you have at whatever age you are at.
I believe age and getting older is a privilege to be celebrated.
I think is sad that many of us feel the need to go under the knife, because we don´t think we are perfect how we are, or being old is not good enough.

I love seeing old women looking fabulous with grey hair and wrinkles, like the French do. Looking there age and enjoying it.

I inspire to that.

And I really know that some times is not easy when I compare myself to someone younger. And sometimes I which I had the body I used to have when I was 18 and that I was too silly to enjoyed thinking that it wasn't good enough.

But, I want to enjoy every day and look my very best naturally, trying not to compare myself  with how I use to look 10, 15 or even 20 years ago.
That person is not coming back, but the person that I am right now  it is so much wiser and I have the wrinkles to prove it.

What about you? How do you feel about ageing?
